provides pre-development and post-development public open space site evaluation services.
UPR Consulting produces specific design, development and management strategies to attract desirable public activity and counteract unanticipated elements.
Physical appearance, walkability, and meaningful combinations of cultural and civic elements, market services and products, and recreation and leisure activities create the most enticing and dynamic public spaces. Sensitive formal management programs partnered with informal "place stewardship" can effectively safeguard these valuable community amenities. UPR Consulting creates site-specific design and management strategies to achieve and maintain successful plazas, paseos, promenades, marketplaces, leisure spaces, and small parks, especially in complex mixed-use, transit-oriented, civic, leisure and retail projects as well as in more conventional retail settings.
Our site evaluation research is tailored to the needs of developers, design and landscape architecture firms, BIDs,
area redevelopment agencies, property managers, local merchants, security specialists, town planners, and chambers of commerce. We help project stakeholders understand and support the social activity and dynamics most central to their interests.
